Lockhart Stamp Company 2008 Limited Edition Release

Sometimes computers can be SO frustrating. Yes, I have been so excited about the arrival of September 1st and the unveiling of the Classroom blog. Well, alas when I went to publish the first post - nothing!!! ARGH!!! I have put a ticket in with Typepad and am patiently (or more accurately - IMPATIENTLY) awaiting their reply. Don't they know that they are supposed to labor on Labor Day Weekend - LOL! So once again patience is a virtue as I await their assistance.

In the interim the only thing I can do is to continue on my merry way here on Simple Dreams and hopefully at some point today I will be able to do all those things I have tried so hard to get ready to do.

Today is the official release of the newest Lockhart limited edition stamp.

Pictured here are the first four years of collector stamps that Karen has created. It all started in 2005 with "The Flurries". This stamp is completely sold out and no longer available. If you are lucky enough to find it on E-bay you will most likely pay a collector price Ü. Then in 2006 "Nicholas and Daddy" was created. I do believe that I am the only one with a few of these stamps remaining for sale in my inventory. Next came "Grandpa and Grandma Flurry with Nicholas" in 2007.

Today I am so excited to share Karen's latest collectible - "Nicholas First Train". These are very special little stamps. Karen only runs a limited edition of 250 pieces. She then hand colors in the face of each stamp image right on the wood block. She also signs, numbers and dates each one of these special little stamps.

Don't delay if you think you may want to collect these limited edition stamps because once they are sold out it is almost impossible to find them! I encourage you to purchase yours as soon as possible Ü
